those are the two biggest offenders, removing battery overcharge and reverting the speed buff would go a long way towards making the game better balanced

>shield battery
proxy void with batteries is completely broken in PvT
battery overcharge is a dumb mechanic that lets protoss get away with maximum greed early game and gives them too much of a headstart on massing their skytoss
protoss should have tocommit more to defence instead of getting to rush straight to fast 3 base skytoss in PvZ

Voidrays aren't so fast you can't be prepared for them, you just need adequate map vision, like with any harassment.
Proxy void isn't that difficult to counter.
Letting your opponent mass skytoss is more of a you problem than a them problem.

I know you're being snide but you're also misunderstanding territorial claim. It may be a 40m shitstack but it the posistion is strategic. A foreign nation could place a listening post or an ICBM on it and it wouldn't be considered a hostile action under international law. It may be considered provocative and condemned but that's about it.

China is claiming every tiny sandbar it can to expand their territorial claim on the south china seas and America is pulling a dictatorship in the polynesians for the same reason. Tiny shit holes have massive value when they're on your opponents doorstep.

What version did you download? Looks like you've got the master which needs to be compiled before you can play it. It's much easier to just grab the precompiled version, especially if you have no interest in modding the game yourself.

>But those bonuses are minor nuggets, right?
No. They can be stuff like -10% research price for 20 years (but only to specific countries) or permanent increase to absolutism (again, for specific countries), generating out of a blue super-good military leaders regardless of other factors and, most importantly, permanent claims. In tune of "OPM gains claims for a large country, because you've clicked a button". On top of that, you railroad and you railroad hard, because they are nation- or at least micro-region specific. Meanwhile "generic" missions are just flat-out horrible.
>"nations need to feel unique"
This wouldn't be a problem, really... if EU4 had historical events. It doesn't. The end result is the game not supporting historical outcomes in any fucking way... but having "historical" nation-specific ideas. And then introducing quasi-historical missions, which set easy-to-reach goals that results in gains greatly exceeding historical ones (Venice can gain a perma claim on fucking Constantinople, for fuck's sake)

>>858995
Point taken. Still, that check-list is a rail, because you can't go out of it. Compare with, say, generic colonization mission, where if you colonized X province, you gained a small bonus to colonisation for few years, because hey, this is what you are going, and it repeats itself. Now you won't get that reactive flavour at all, while the handful of countries that do gain colonization-related "missions" gain absurd bonuses to it.

Well, that sounds bad.

>if EU4 had historical events. It doesn't.
It has these pseudo-historical events.
Like the Burgundian inheritance, not only was that likely to happen, game already has the personal union mechanic to represent it.
But they decided that if Charles succeeds Burgundy he gets -95% chance of heir, and if that 5% doesn't provide a heir, Mary is event spawned, and because EU4's heir system is shit she can't be replaced by male heir, which will eventually trigger Burgundian inheritance.
In 1444 Charles was married to the French princess, who died in 1446 childless, if she had survived Charles' entire reign would have been drastically different.

Furthermore, at least in England lords tended to die without sons only 25% of the time, so -95% heir production is retarded.

That's the sort of shit that separates the betaboi role players from Chad conquerors. No one wants to see how some loser managed to expand the borders of Naples a bit to the north, or how much gold they made playing as Venice, or whether The Teutons colonized some bumfuck island in the Caribbean, or if some place managed to survive to the end as a OPM. That sort of thing is for FURRIES! What we really want to see is the entire globe painted in ONE COLOR and ONE COLOR ONLY! That's right! No vassals left at all! That's the stuff of legendary heroes.

Any good game like Dawn of War or other piece of 40k entertainment shits on this retarded made up rule that was only created so they could include paypigs that actually bought 1000 Marine models in showcase in the White Dwarf. It should have been retconned years ago.
>>858727

It plays like Total War. It's design stems from literally those same design choices.

>>859126
Tabletop mechanics are utterly irrelevant. Actually GW wouldn't for there to be 1 to 1 copy of tabletop because they could lose some Grey Tide Waacfags to it.
>>859156
Problem with it wasn't the fact that game is real time tactics on battlefield or that it has squads like Dawn of War or CoH. Problem with ground battles are small and claustrophobic very shit corridor maps. Problem is retarded design that encourages boring turtling when you are attacking a planet since you will always have massively smaller force which you need to use to cheese the enemy with bombing run. Problem is overpowered artillery that wipes out all infantry and vehicles you have in one shot. Problem is janky pathfinding due to corridor maps, slow as fuck infantry and fast vehicles and few other things. Ground combat being shit is due to all around jank and bad design choices, not impossibility of making big fun sci-fi warfare impossible.

And even if it was impossible for some reason, CA will still make Total War:40k

It is significantly more similar to Dawn of War Dark Crusade than total war. Or the new CoH 3.
Total war isn't just anything with real time battles and a larger campaign map between battles.
The ground plays like a poor mans C&C3, while space is pretty kino but is a far cry from the gameplay you get in any of the total war games other than sharing the real time aspect.

The only real similarity is the merging of a campaign map with battles you control, which is a real muddying of what a total war game is.

The books are also full of tiny battles and singular characters. Until they can make a WW1 game, which they will never manage to do well, the idea that they could make a 40K game and handle space marines, aircraft, stealth units and all the other stuff is laughable.
Total War is utterly garbage at anything other than melee combat and 40K TW would be total shit. I actively don't want to see it happen. I can completely believe that it will and I will simply not play it but I don't want it to because it reduces the chances that we get a good 40K game instead.
Big battles do happen sure but if you want to do anything other than go
>durr ooo loook pretty explosion hurrrr
Then they would be utterly uninteresting to play. Moreover the idea that fortifications, buildings, cities and just cover in general aren't important factors in them is simply retarded.
Although I suppose the Total War audience is primarily people who just want to go durr ooo loook pretty explosion hurrrr.
